No custom rom 'should' bundle a modem as not all modems will work well for everyone. Different modems will work different depending on your carrier and physical location.

As a rule of thumb you should always try the newest modem, in this case KG6, give it a day or so see how your signal and data speeds, wifi etc are, if you are happy stick with it until there is a newer one, if not then go to the next down (KG3) and try that etc

so in order of newest try these

KG6, KG3, KG2, KG1 , KF2

KG6 and KG3 worked well for me, KG1 was horrid (however some said KG1 was good and KG3 was poor)

It really is a matter for each person to try each one, you cannot really be given any advice different from what I just stated.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] farhaan1:
Thanx for ur quick answers, just got one more for u,

I'm currently away from my computer, but came across someone on xda who is offering modems in zip files flashable through can

How is that done plz?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] farhaan1:
I meant flashable through cwm
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kalpik:
Yep, that's me :p

damn zeubug is not sharing his work anymore~~ damn those noobs~~
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] thegangsta:
Yea you are right. This was the best theme I ever used on any of my androids. Has anyone got a working download link for the last release (KG6)? I don't want to send a pm to ZeuBug now, he is probably not in the mood for that...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yeah, its a shame. Now we see what real noobishness/just lazy people can do to themers/devs.

I guess ZeuBug is not strong enough anymore to keep going.

Thanks a lot. How can I uninstall the pre-installed version of Swype? I cannot find it neither in Applications nor in TB.

I've got a problem with Bluetooth. I've got a Jabra Bluetooth FM transmitter in my car which I use to stream music from my phone over Bluetooth to the in-car radio. However now when I connect to the transmitter over Bluetooth and turn on music on the music player it does not stream but plays through the phone. To make it play over BT I have to go in the settings of the player to the Play over Bluetooth option, disconnect the transmitter and connect it again. Only after that it starts playing over Bluetooth. Does anyone have a similar problem or know how to fix it?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Awesome :D Wallet is an implementation of nfc, with some rom level security stuff to safeguard it... I think it should work in theory, just you might need to add stuff to framework?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Exactly... Remember KH3? People whinged because I didn't update to KH5 or KH6... Which were simply regional rebuilds for different markets :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
Yeah, and I'm starting to see evidence that KI4 might require initramfs tweaks to handle the changes to wifi - just like I3/I4/J2/J4 for Infuse and J2/J4 for I777.

Freaking pain in the ass that Samsung moved crap around.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Exactly. Spot on with that one. To be honest cant really much happening till ICS really. Unless sammy really surprises us
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Well they cannot do much beyond what is in AOSP...

I think many of the aosp changes don't even apply on this device (nfc related), hence there's not much further to go imo before 4.x

And I still find that this ROM serves me well :) Been running it without maintenance since the release date now :D The interested reader can find release date up in the thread title :)

Edit: since 26 September :) That's not bad going :D

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Id love to find out what is your overall impression with Ics from what you have seen so far. Is it worth the hype or its best to find out when its released
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Ok im quoting myself here. Damn phone app. That was for you Pulser the question if you are still around mate
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I think it is an important step forward, to unite tablet and phone :)

I think people are overplaying a little - it's basically 3.2 for tablet or phone, with a new theme...

In terms of actual benefits, apps will need designed for it... ie you won't have hardware selection keys on the SGN. So apps have to adjust, and it will take time.

It's a nice step forward, but I think lots of devices will be left behind for good reason, creating a market for old stuff too... Which will damage the Android brand... I don't think phones should be sold with the Android name unless they ship on latest major (ie 2.3, 2.2) version... If you can't ship a device up to date, what hope do you have of keeping it up to date with timely security fixes?

I think Google is missing a trick here - get a unified update system in place, so that updates are built from AOSP direct by google :) That way, there are no reasons for delays to updates :) Manufacturers should have an overlay of APK files. They should just be regular apps, no hooks to frameworks etc. Then Google updates the base, and the maker sticks to their overlay apps :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Much appreciated for your time...I can honestly sit here and talk to you for hours. I think that is what's missing really from Google's part...The lack of quality apps like you have on iOS. i know apps are not everything but look at the success that apple has and look at it compare to android. Hopefully as you say by the unification and with google hopefully going into the right direction within a year we might see a difference..But the one thing that i do not agree with android is the amount of handsets (specially flagship handsets)being released so soon once one has came out..For example Galaxy S2 not been 6 months and now you have so many HTC's coming out and SGN and RAZR although Motorola i really do not count as a big player
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Well... I think competition is why android is on top :) if you interfere, it would spoil part of what makes android good....

I would clamp down on crap ones though... And carrier versions :p Forget cdma, it's an anti-competitive American invention. So do gsm only, and just one multi frequency, worldwide model... It's cheaper to do that than have variants...

Force networks to compete on service, not handsets. Like it should be :) Yes, networks will cry. But if customers demand Android, the networks just have to suck it :p

I would restrict the number of low end android phones, and rebadge the "developing world" quality devices... So right now, imo nothing below ARMv7 would be sellable under the Android name, and nothing with below an HDPI screen :)

Lower end devices have a place. Keep gingerbread AOSP up to date with secular, force manufacturers to update them constantly, then let them scrap over the budget market :p

The real phones are the different matter :) They are high end, and need to reflect that :) So they can be badged android :) but they need 2 years of updates from day of release, with timescale commitment by maker, complete with penalties for not meeting the time...

Before anybody leaps to defend them, you paid for your phone. The least you expect is it will be secure and safe for 2 years (EU warranty period). This is their job. They are not hobbyists, and they are paid well to do it... So yes, give them deadlines. And cut carriers out the process as much as possible :) they are too slow
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
All i will say is i can learn alot from you. Anyway mate thanks and im gonna have to say goodnight. But id love to carry on this conversation another time with you if that is ok. :-).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Sure :) I would be glad to.

I'm off too
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
Pulser - I'm looking for ideas on something here.

I now have Hellraiser injecting the I777 NFC libraries and an additional permissions file that is required.

However, for NFC to actually work, Settings.apk needs to be modded with some small smali mods. How much compatibility variation is there between Settings.apk for various ROMs? e.g. if I make the mod to Settings.apk for one KI3 ROM, will it work for most KI3 ROMs? (Of course, possibly changing the icon colors from the original ROM.)

Is there a better way to go about this?

Edit: Oh yeah, I have no idea what the magic is either in XXKI3, or specifically in Villain, but I've NEVER seen weak-signal battery life as good as today at my desk. Usually my phone starts chomping battery when in very weak signal at my desk.

Edit 2: One other thing, I haven't had enough time to look at this in detail, but on AT&T, your ROM defaults to the old wap.cingular APN - SensatioN 1.8 defaults to the "new" dual-APN approach needed for HSPA+ phones to work right. The old wap.cingular APN seems to be delivering worse and worse performance as time goes on. I haven't quite figured out why this is - CSCs are still black voodoo magic to me. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
So true, although there has been some speculation that ICS won't come to SGS2 until 2nd quarter of 2012. I personally think that Samsung won't dare to hold it back for so long. Also that information could have been with regards to the official updates, which don't really have any use for us XDA'ers.

PS, I've got a spare green hat for your little orange dude lol :P

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jamesyb0i:
why won't my phone connect to my laptop on ANY rom except Villainrom?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Not a clue... Are you using the same settings for usb (debugging etc)? Perhaps need a wipe?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
haha he would like that alot..;) and on a serious not i agree with you..I do not believe sammy would be stupid to delay the ICS that long for our GS2...So we can only hope for a leak or something
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
I don't think they will either.

Saying that, there is a few people in the stock rom thread reporting that KJ roms seem to be faster, smoother and slightly more battery efficient.

Well, since we're up to KJ3 now maybe it's worth for pulser to take a look and see what's what. In my opinion I wouldn't mind jumping from KI3 to KJ3 and then just stick with it till the next series of updates come along.

That should liven this thread up a but as well. :P

What do you think pulser?

Transmitted from a Galaxy far far away via XDA lightspeed telepathy.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
Some of those deltas may be update3 kernel sources.

In terms of ROMs, not sure how you could get much better than XXKI3 - it totally blows away UCKH7!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Exactly. If Pulser sees something that is worth releasing i am sure he would go for it..And true..Maybe it might just liven up things again in here:D:P and then disco Penguin might be busy again...:D

But on a serious note what else can be called a true upgrade than ICS...For me KI4 seems the smoothest we had yet
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jorge787:
There is no need for updates when your phone is running perfectly. Thankfully I have not been able to replicate any of the issues I've seen posted by others.

*edit* it's back nvm :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bl@ck:
I'm still fine with VillainROM 3.0, don't see much meaning behind all the weekly updates that some rom release, since most of the time is just updates to add stuff inside or fix problems introduced with a previous update.

If there's a major release that adds something we'll welcome it, otherwise it's just meaningless to rush the updates, we're still using a stock rom after all.

I'm happy with vr3 running themes i like find speed and stability brilliant. batterylife also good get around 1.5 days with moderate use less if i game more if i dont - record was 2.5 days to 10% but it was asleep most of the time. just,waiting for ICE baby like everyone else.

@Vertmus,

As usual, I like what you've done with the looks department, but I am very tempted to rip your theme apart and make it universal via vrtheme!

Hint, replacing xml's work too..

Get the guys that know what they doing with it to give you a hand maybe. Ohh wait, pulser is the dev for this rom and one of the guys that made vrtheme happen... doc as well, petsasj took the concept the furthest i've seen so far.

And no, universal does not mean removing custom tweaks... get with the times man, you are ruining good work done by the devs..

23 apks replaced...... maybe you can start a new rom in the android development section?

For phone and contacts, you need to change ic_launcher_phone.png and ic_launcher_contacts.png in contacts.apk..

I assume it would be something like this or icons.png for other apps.

You need to get used to looking at the folder hierarchy of apk's..

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
Nearly every kernel with CWM (and I am assuming this includes Ninphetamine) supports ADB in recovery, so if you can enter CWM you can push files to the SD with ADB.

What's the latest Modem for those who've installed VillainROM 3.0

I only got my phone back from the repair people yesterday as I dropped it to the ground by accident last month and it took the insurance people a month to process my application for my policy then I had to wait two weeks to get the screen replaced and checked as well and as a result I've completely forgotten what Modem I need to install and how to install it!

The information that I've gotten from the "About Phone" section which should be of help as I need to fix the Modem so I can get a phone signal again is the following:

Model Number: GT-I9100

Android version: 2.3.5

Baseband version: Unknown

Kernel version: 2.6.35.11-ninphetamine-2.0.5+ninpo@titan #20

Build number: VillainROM 3.0

upgraded to villianrom 2.3.5

Hi all,

I have successfully upgraded to villainrom 2.3.5 from the previous version and I noticed that I lost my transparent notification bar, the green toggle icons, and the green icons for battery, signal strength and connection type.

I went into VRtweaks and did not see any tweaks (like the last version) where I can change them.

I also have searched this thread and could not find anything that worked or I knew how to do.

Thus my question is can I get these modifications or tweaks back on Villainrom 2.3.5. Please do not tell me to search the themes section, I have done that. Please instead provide a link.

Im simply looking to make the icons green and the notification bar transparent as it was in VilliainROM 2.3.4.

Here is some info if it helps

Model Number: GT-I9100

Android version: 2.3.5

Baseband version: I19100XXKI4

I see. Thanx for the information. :D

Just my curiousity, but why newer kernel ( kernel made from samsung update 3 source ) are giving better benchmark score ? I compared ninphetamine 2.0.5 with a few stock rooting kernel like hellcat or CF-root and somehow those newer kernel deliver quite higher score. Is this related to the reduced battery life? (But not really care actually as long my phone snappy and having a great battery life, so its a pure my curiousity :D)
